ecurity is being increased at Baltimore’s municipal buildings after a former employee, fired for having alleged hacking tools on his city computer, managed to gain “unfettered access” to sensitive areas...

Cumming’s latest report said the fired employee told investigators he went to his old workplace to see former colleagues. However, Cumming’s office found the visit was not sanctioned — and was the result of a cascade of security lapses.

The incident occurred one day before the ransomware attack crippled the city’s computer network.

The entire upper echelons of both IT and Security should be summarily fired.

Today.

How is the little guy going to sleep with the power supply fan whirring away at the end of his rack?

He’s having nightmares about being in a Democrat debate.
